Onion Merit F1 is a high-yielding, short-day red hybrid onion variety known for firm bulbs, deep red color, and excellent storage capacity (up to 5 months).
It matures in 90–100 days post-transplanting, producing round bulbs weighing 95–100g, often favored for its strong pungency and high marketability.
Key Advantages:
High Yield Potential: As a hybrid, it offers superior, consistent yields compared to traditional varieties.
Excellent Shelf Life: The firm bulbs are designed to last, which is crucial for reducing post-harvest losses and fetching better market prices.
Vigorous Growth: It provides strong, consistent growth, often resulting in high-grade, uniform bulbs.
Firmness: The bulbs are firm, which protects them during transport and handling.
Key Growing Conditions & Management:
- Climate: Ideal for warm to moderate climates.
- Soil: Loose, fertile, and well-drained soil. Avoid waterlogged areas.
- Spacing: Transplant seedlings 10–15 cm apart, in rows 25–30 cm apart.
- Watering: Consistent moisture is needed, but reduce watering as bulbs mature to prevent neck rot.
